The Agile Pubcast Geoff Watts & Paul Goddard

Geoff & Paul give a short (and fairly brutal) review of Marty Cagan's new book, in which he makes several bold suggestions about how to transformation organisations to become more product-centric. Our concerns centered around those reading will make radical decisions which jeopardise jobs through cost savings. Is this the right thing for our thought leaders to do? How is this similar to Ken Schwaber's first teachings about Scrum...

The three lads talked about how companies have changed post-COVID and some of the strange decisions many orgs are making on cutting roles and jobs. Is this the end of "agile" roles as we see them?

From Deus Ex Machina, Boscombe UK. The name of this pub took us on another meandering conversation into the realms of possibilities with an AI-related future and how our role as humans may need to adapt into a creating more people-centric (or even planet-centric) processes. Most of Paul's AI knowledge is based on the Terminator film franchise, which Geoff hasn't seen (no surprises there!!)

From The Long Bar, Bristol. It's been a long time since our last episode, but Geoff and Paul are back! Taking a short break in our busy schedules brought us together for a catch up in Bristol, where we discussed everything from karaoke singing to kanban training! We hope you enjoy the episode, and we hope to get back to a more frequent recording schedule!
